Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of labour versus expectant monitoring for gestational hypertension or mild pre-eclampsia after 36 weeks' gestation (HYPITAT): a multicentre, open-label randomised controlled trial
Corine M. Koopmans,Denise Bijlenga,Henk Groen,S.M. Vijgen,Jan G. Aarnoudse,Dick J. Bekedam,Paul P. van den Berg,Karin de Boer,Jan M. Burggraaff,Kitty W.M. Bloemenkamp,A.P. Drogtrop,Arie Franx,Christianne J.M. de Groot,Anjoke J.M. Huisjes,Anneke Kwee,Aren J. van Loon,A. Lub,D.N. Papatsonis,Joris A. M. van der Post,Frans J.M.E. Roumen,Hubertina C.J. Scheepers,Christine Willekes,Ben W.J. Mol,Maria G. van Pampus +23 more
TL;DR: Induction of labour is associated with improved maternal outcome and should be advised for women with mild hypertensive disease beyond 37 weeks' gestation and should also be advised to receive either induction of labour or expectant monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction versus expectant monitoring for intrauterine growth restriction at term: randomised equivalence trial (DIGITAT)
Kim E. Boers,Sylvia M.C. Vijgen,Denise Bijlenga,J. A. M. van der Post,Dick J. Bekedam,Anneke Kwee,P. C. M. van der Salm,M.G. van Pampus,Marc E. A. Spaanderman,K. de Boer,Johannes J. Duvekot,H.A. Bremer,T H M Hasaart,Friso M.C. Delemarre,Kitty W.M. Bloemenkamp,C A van Meir,Christine Willekes,Ella J. Wijnen,Monique Rijken,S. le Cessie,Frans J.M.E. Roumen,Jim G Thornton,J.M.M. van Lith,Ben W.J. Mol,Sicco A. Scherjon +24 more
TL;DR: In women with suspected intrauterine growth restriction at term, it is rational to choose induction to prevent possible neonatal morbidity and stillbirth, and patients who are keen on non-intervention can safely choose expectant management with intensive maternal and fetal monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated detection of local artery wall thickness based on M-line signal processing.
Arnold P.G. Hoeks,Christine Willekes,Pierre Boutouyrie,Peter J. Brands,Jean M. Willigers,Robert S. Reneman +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that processing of the radiofrequency ultrasound signal, acquired along an M-line, provides an accurate and time-efficient alternative for videoprocessing of 2-dimensional B-mode ultrasound images to estimate artery wall thickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated system for the non-invasive assessment of vessel wall and hemodynamic properties of large arteries by means of ultrasound
TL;DR: ART-lab in real-time mode is a useful tool for monitoring arterial vessel wall dynamics, while off-line it can be employed to investigate the elastic vessel wall properties in combination with hemodynamics, such as blood flow velocity and shear rate distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
